That's one of my favorites. Although, I don't recall anything being said about Liza going to her mother's. When she got up, she just said, "I should have married up with Lukey". This final line was sometimes cut from the skit either for time or PC reasons.

If you're referring to the line in the "Sing Along" video that I mentioned earlier, it wasn't edited out; it was edited in when the musical street scenes were put on video. Biff calling himself a Republican takes the place of the letter and number of the day being announced. I can only guess...

No, that's what I said; Oliver was the straight man. You said that the straight man was usually named first and mentioned "Laurel and Hardy". So, I thought you were saying that Laurel was the straight man. I may have misunderstood. Having said that, I really don't see any difference in...

Not exactly. Oliver Hardy was considered the straight man of Laurel and Hardy, not Stan Laurel.

Funny you should say that; for me it was the exact opposite. Bert has always been my favorite, but my personality is more like Ernie.

I may have felt sorry for Bert at times (he is my favorite character after all), but they just wouldn't be Ernie and Bert, if Ernie didn't drive him nuts. Your statement that Ernie "meant well" brought an old question to my mind though. Was Ernie really trying to help Bert in that and many...

It was a very early skit. Bert was walking along a blank background scene and out of the blue, he sees Ernie with a barber shop set up. Ernie proceeds to give Bert a haircut and winds up cutting all of Bert's hair off. Bert says, "Ernie, I'm bald." Ernie says, "I wouldn't say that, Bert."...

The skit about the "Golden An" had to do with Lefty's boss giving him instruction in rhyme. I don't remember the words exactly, but it had something to do with giving the "Golden AN" to "Dan" in the "van" or something like that. It took Lefty forever to remember the "plan" and by the time he...

In many ways the two shows were apples and oranges, but I think you might want to review the New Zoo before you write the characters off as not being "wacky". The overall message of NZR, as on Sesame Street, was to be good to one another. However, there were many moments of humorous tension...

Lefty's boss was the "Fat Blue" model of muppet. I believe the skit was around the early 70's. There were at least two other similar skits with Lefty and his boss. One involved the "Golden AN" in which Lefty got arrested for stealing. The other was about some, more, and most carrots with a...

I have to respectfully disagree with you there. I am a big fan of the New Zoo Review and wish it was shown more. Even that show tried to get children to internalize values rather than scaring them straight. I don't recall ever seeing Doug or Emmy Jo smack the animals in the mouth to teach...

And since all parents don't believe in spanking, it would be too controversial. It would be like trying to impose certain cultural or religious values on everyone.

The truth is that Sesame Street has ALWAYS taught manners and discipline, but in a much subtler way than was originally suggested in this thread.

I thought you didn't think all the editing was necessary, Mister Fred. In September, you posted a message stating that there was too much editing of skits, like a kid eating with her bare hands in "Everybody Eats". You said that a good parent shows their kids what is right and wrong. Have you...

No, the AD years started with 1 AD.

Reminds me of when everyone was celebrating the false millennium of 2000 and ignoring the real one in 2001.

Hi. I don't know what version you heard of the song, but I have the actual tape of the Christmas special. I just listened to the song on there (so weird, a Christmas special on Halloween) and Oscar DEFINITELY said, "I'll tell him where to PUT his toys." Maybe they modified the line in some...

I don't think the problem is just McDonald's. I think it's the whole package of what Sesame Street has turned into and how different it is from its original essence.

Maybe it really IS only a matter of time before Hooper's store is converted into a McDonald's.

Thanks. :)
